Here is Welsie's special gift to us, along with the egg Tawnie was laying in the earlier post. (Note: I have LARGE hands; I wear a men's medium glove!)That's it for now at . . .

Our Friday "manna"
I just got back from shutting in the sheep for the night and checking for eggs one last time. I didn't really expect any more, since Brian collected six earlier in the day, so I was delighted to see an intact #7 - the first time we've collected that many - sitting in a nest box. But it was not JUST an egg - it was another giant, double-yoked Welsie egg! Does that make today an eight-egg day? :-) Funny how none of the other hens, though all the same age (this spring's hatch), have given us any double-yokers. Anyway, it felt a bit like getting the special Friday blessing the Israelites got when collecting manna in the wilderness (see Exodus chapter 16).

OWWWWW!!!! Poor Welsie!! (though I DO love those double yolkers!):)
That reminds me I need eggs!
I am working away at your problem, it wouldn't work for me either, so I figure there is something odd going on that needs a little investigation...
Oh, we raised chickens for 20+ years and never tired of the beauty of finding a bonus egg like that! They are beautiful! Congrats!
Wow, that's a beautuful egg. HI Michelle, I'm new to your blog. I'd say that Welsie is a keeper. I will make sure I get some Welsummers next spring.
You lucky dog! Those are some nice eggs.
Right now my chickens aren't laying (molting time here I guess.)
